Science Fair Project Part 2

Oh man. Even though I have a science fair partner, my mom made me write out the entire project blueprints by myself. At least there will be something to discuss once I meet up with my partner. I'm thinking about using lima beans and planting them in cups and filtering the sunlight to be a specific color, to see if it will affect the plant growth. More research needed, or at least to confirm some points in the experiment. I changed the variable of light bulbs to sunlight because of the electricity bill we'll rack up. I'll just simply keep count of the number of hours of sunlight the plants get, and record the temperatures before and after school, if it's not the weekend. More will be posted once I talk to my partner.

Notes

Things You Need To Keep In Mind:

-If you want to complain, complain silently or to yourself or like-minded others. Complaining all over the place can get you shunned by peers, or in trouble with the teachers.

-Don't put your phone inside your backpack. Get a little pocket to stick onto a shoulder strap. Otherwise, you'll just spend 20 minutes walking all over the school looking for it when it was buried under your books the whole time. I still can't believe I didn't see it at the bottom of my backpack.

-Getting hit in the face with a soccer ball hurts more than a basketball. Unless someone is passing it to you straightforward and you weren't looking, then it hurts more. Also, if you have glasses, make sure to keep them on so you can see while playing, but also be careful not to get them dented by getting hit in the face with a basketball.

-ALWAYS stay at least 10 feet away from a batter at full swing. Trust me, I almost got hit in the face with a baseball bat because the batter was standing right next to me.

-Don't put your books or binders under the rails of middle school chairs. You'll just end up forgetting them later. I forgot my binder under those chairs about 4 or 5 times during my first year of middle school.

-If you have a school library book and you finish it two weeks after checking it out, don't shove it into your backpack and finally remember to return it 4 months later. Never done that before, but it happened to my one of my friends.

-NEVER mess around with settings on the computer that you will have the slightest chance of regret later when your parents find out. Learned that when my parents almost killed me this one time when I was messing around and changed some of the computer settings. :P I mean, can you really get THAT mad at somebody for altering the default font?

-Having everything essential to success with you at school is great, but the back pain is torture afterwards. I suggest you leave your 600 page workbook at school on the cheap shelf provided. Even though that shelf collapsed after a few days...

-If the school lunch looks remotely suspicious, probably safest to not eat it. I bit into an icy sandwich once. Irony, it claims it was oven roasted. Yeah right.

-Try not to judge people. I thought this one kid in my class was bad, but I ended up thanking him later for saving my friend and I from trouble. For once, he was good for something: me.
